Unique replica tankette R-1

Dear Sirs,
on Saturday, 17 August was the site of the Military museum Lichkov first introduced replica CKD export tankette: AH-IVR, also known as R-1.

If all goes well, this machine will be on display on Sunday 1 September during Tank Day in the Military Technical Museum Lesany.

Very nice and clean work.
The engine is original or replica ?
Will have any foreign markings painted on ?

I do not have enough information, but I know a little:
- the engine car ARO,
- control driving of old Rolba,
- vehicle hull was lightweight (thinner metal plate).



Free translation of text at the bottom left:
1600 hours to build replicas tankette. Thanks Engineering Works Sternberk for help in making pieces that we ourselves could not make it.

P. S.
I apologize for using electronic translator, I can not English.

Romanian engine made from ARO cars sound interesting.
Could be the gas engine 2,5 l from ARO M461 or diesel 3,0 l From ARO 244 series ?
